The project aims to promote the spirit of investigation in teachers a students using the Computational thinking as a set of procedures that are then implemented by a executor, operating within a fixed context, to achieve assigned objectives. The project intends to develop Computational thinking as a mental process for problem solving and is consisting of a combination of characteristic methods and intellectual tools, both of general value.

The intellectual tools include:

 - confidence in dealing with complexity
 - obstinacy in working with difficult problems;
 - tolerance to ambiguity;
 - ability to deal with incompletely defined problems;
 - ability to deal with both human and technological aspects, as the human dimension is essential for the success of any computer system;
 - ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or a shared solution.

The teacher are more and more user of digital technologies and the so-called digital native pupils use the Computer or other available technologies (Smartphone, Tablet, etc ), and have a lot of experience and familiarity to interact with new technologies, but not to create using new technologies or to express themselves through new technologies. The project assumes that is a lack of skills compared to be able to read but not write with new technologies.

Although the term "computational" can lead to think that it represents a useful skill only to those who have made computer science their profession, it is also a fundamental skill (acquired ability) that everyone should possess, in particular those young people who wish not to miss the opportunities that the future will put before them in the coming years. It is now universally recognized that to succeed in their professional future young people will have to "learn to learn" and not just provide pre-packaged answers.
